Nice that out there in California you have all these options. Most of us
in rural areas in the east don't have a signal of any sort within 20
miles, and most of them are motels that are hardly free access points to
non-customers. As far as I know, no New York Thruway rest areas are
currently offering free wifi.
OTOH, our housing costs are not out of sight and our wines are right up
there with those from California.
